Fruit Pinwheel with Blueberry Sauce



This is as tasty as it is pretty. Fast, fresh, and nutritious, this is loaded with antioxidants, phytonutrients, vitamin c, manganese and potassium. Peaches, plums and blueberries help to protect against age related macular degeneration as well as heart disease and cancer. Somehow eating a peach, a plum and some blueberries is not as appealing as it is when the presentation is so pretty. My blueberry sauce recipe makes about 1 cup, the leftover sauce is also good on pancakes or icecream.


Fruit Pinwheel with Blueberry Sauce


On a plate place:
1/4 c. lowfat cottage cheese
Arrange in pinwheel fashion around cottage cheese:
1 black plum, sliced
1 peach, sliced
handful of blueberries

To make blueberry sauce puree the following in food processor:
juice of 1 key lime
2 T. honey
1 c. blueberries
Drizzle sauce over fruit and cheese.

I love cottage cheese with fruit. The blueberry honey sauce is just right to take it up a little bit. Good job.

Tell me, what's your secret to finding a good peach? Because nothing beats a really good peach. But as soon as I bite into a mealy one, I am turned off trying another until I look around and whoops, peach season is over. Any suggestions? This combination looks divine; great to know how it helps our bodies, as well.

Anyway, I found you on TasteSpotting and am writing to say that if you have any photos that aren’t accepted there, I’d love to publish them. Visit my new site (below), it’s a lot of fun! I hope you will consider it.

Best,
